Hello! I can help you with this!
a. The function that would best represent Samantha's account is f(5) = 500(1 + 0.04)^5. This is because $500 is the principal, the interest rate is 4%, and we're looking for the amount in the savings account 5 years later.
b. Okay. 1 = 0.04 is 1.04. 1.04^5 is 1.216652902. It's a long decimal, but don't delete it. Multiply that decimal by 500 and you get 608.32645 and other numbers behind it or 608 when rounded to the nearest dollar. Samantha will have about $608 in her savings account in 5 years.
Note: The formula goes like this: f(x) = P(1 + r)^x. This means, you add 1 and the simple interest rate in decimal form together and raise that up by the exponent. There is no shortcuts for this, so you'll have to use the calculator. There will be a very long decimal, but don't clear it. Instead, multiply it by the principal to get the answer. It seems very complicating, but if you do this right, it gets easier overtime and you'll make less errors. There are more complex problems out there, so this formula is very important, but it was kept simple for this question.
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
Where on the X-axis do they intersect? 4
Answer:
If the x-6 is all under the sqrt, the last answer is right:
6<= x <= infinity
If only x is under the sqrt and - 6 is NOT under the sqrt, then:
0 <= x <= infinity is the correct answer.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can look at the equation and or graph to determine the domain of a function. The domain is all the x's that may go into the equation or all the x's on the graph of the function. Inside of a squareroot symbol the number inside there must be positive. While considering the equation, only x's that keep that inside positive can be used.
For sqrt(x-6), x has to be 6 or bigger.
For sqrt(x) - 6, x has to be 0 or bigger.
Participants = 60
.
First round:
1/3 of 60 = 20
or
60 x 1/3
= 60/3
= 20
60 - 20 = 40
There are 20 participants that are eliminated on the first sound and 40 participants to move on to the second sound.
.
Participants = 40
Second round:
1/4 of 40 = 10
or
40 x 1/4
= 40/4
= 10
40 - 10 = 30
There are 10 participants that are eliminated on the second round and 30 participants that is moving on to the next round.
.
Participants = 30
Third round:
1/6 of 30 = 5
or
30 x 1/6
= 30/6
= 5
30 - 5 = 25
There are 5 participants that are eliminated on the third round and 25 participants to move on to the fourth round.
